This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Computer Science Symposium in Russia, CSR 2008, held in Moscow, Russia, June 7-12, 2008. The 33 revised papers presented together with 5 invited papers and one opening lecture were carefully reviewed and selected from 103 submissions. All major areas in computer science are addressed. The theory track deals with algorithms, protocols, and data structures; complexity and cryptography; formal languages, automata and their applications to computer science; computational models and concepts; proof theory and applications of logic to computer science. The application part comprises programming and languages; computer architecture and hardware design; symbolic computing and numerical applications; application software; artificial intelligence and robotics.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Symposium Fundamentals of Computation Theory, FCT 2009, held in Wroclaw, Poland in August 2009. The 29 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 67 submissions. The papers address all current topics in computation theory such as automata and formal languages, design and analysis of algorithms, computational and structural complexity, semantics, logic, algebra and categories in computer science, circuits and networks, learning theory, specification and verification, parallel and distributed systems, concurrency theory, cryptography and cryptograhic protocols, approximation and randomized algorithms, computational geometry, quantum computation and information, bio-inspired computation.

ICALP 2008, the 35th edition of the International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming, was held in Reykjavik, Iceland, July 7–11, 2008. ICALP is a series of annual conferences of the European Association for Th- reticalComputer Science(EATCS) which ?rsttook placein 1972.This year,the ICALP program consisted of the established Track A (focusing on algorithms, automata,complexityandgames)andTrackB(focusing onlogic,semanticsand theory of programming), and of the recently introduced Track C (focusing on security and cryptography foundations). In response to the call for papers, the Program Committees received 477 submissions, the highest ever: 269 for Track A, 122 for TrackB and 86 for Track C. Out of these, 126 papers were selected for inclusion in the scienti?c program: 70 papers for Track A, 32 for Track B and 24 for Track C. The selection was made by the Program Committees based on originality, quality, and relevance to theoretical computer science. The quality of the manuscripts was very high indeed, and many deserving papers could not be selected. ICALP 2008 consisted of ?ve invited lectures and the contributed papers.

This proceedings volume examines a range of topics in theoretical computer science, including automata theory, data compression, logic, machine learning, mathematical programming, parallel and distributed computing, quantum computing and random structures.

Annotation This book constitutes the proceedings of the 18th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms, held in Liverpool, UK in September 2010.

The two-volume set LNCS 6198 and LNCS 6199 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 37th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming, ICALP 2010, held in Bordeaux, France, in July 2010. The 106 revised full papers (60 papers for track A, 30 for track B, and 16 for track C) presented together with 6 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 389 submissions. The papers are grouped in three major tracks on algorithms, complexity and games; on logic, semantics, automata, and theory of programming; as well as on foundations of networked computation: models, algorithms and information management. LNCS 6199 contains 46 contributions of track B and C selected from 167 submissions as well as 4 invited talks.
